Climate change will affect individuals with pre-existing respiratory disease, but the extent of the effect remains unclear. The present position statement was developed on behalf of the European Respiratory Society in order to identify areas of concern arising from climate change for individuals with respiratory disease, healthcare workers in the respiratory sector and policy makers. The statement was developed following a 2-day workshop held in Leuven (Belgium) in March 2008. Key areas of concern for the respiratory community arising from climate change are discussed and recommendations made to address gaps in knowledge. The most important recommendation was the development of more accurate predictive models for predicting the impact of climate change on respiratory health. Respiratory healthcare workers also have an advocatory role in persuading governments and the European Union to maintain awareness and appropriate actions with respect to climate change, and these areas are also discussed in the position statement.
气候变化将影响患有既往呼吸系统疾病的个体，但其影响程度仍不明确。本立场声明是代表欧洲呼吸学会制定的，旨在确定气候变化给患有呼吸系统疾病的个体、呼吸领域的医护人员以及政策制定者带来的关切领域。该声明是在2008年3月于比利时鲁汶举办的为期两天的研讨会之后制定的。文中讨论了气候变化给呼吸领域带来的主要关切领域，并针对知识空白提出了建议。最重要的建议是开发更准确的预测模型，以预测气候变化对呼吸健康的影响。呼吸领域的医护人员在说服政府和欧盟关注气候变化并采取适当行动方面也具有倡导作用，这些内容在立场声明中也有讨论。
